So keeping with my short stories for a short summer theme (It's almost August!) here is another one of my favorite short story collections. Ernest Hemingway's In Our Time. I've always really enjoyed this book, which is surprising to me because I really dislike Hemingway. I can't stand his novels. I find that his style of short to the point sentences wears on me the longer I have to read it. But if I only have to deal with it for a couple of pages I eat it up. Hate his novels, think the novella The Old Man and the Sea is just okay, but love the short stories. Highlights of the collection for me are The Battler and Big Two Hearted River. This is the perfect book for a camping trip. Thats that.
